“She was a very loving person,” Edwards’ sister Samantha Edwards, who believes she died as a result of surgery complications, said. “That’s how I want to remember my sister. She lived her life and God took her early.”

Edwards reportedly complained of stomach and breast pains before her death. Neighbors reported Edwards was in pain when she returned home from the Dominican Republic.

A few hours before she died, Edwards reportedly wrote “I must sleep good tonight” on Facebook.
